BRN Discussion Ongoing

[JoMo68]

AI is contributing to a rise in energy demand; your child’s next toy could be powered by ChatGPT; AI will be a powerful tool for the future of work; will AI ever outsmart us?

Microsoft doubles down on smaller generative AI; AI's next debate is over whose values it should hold; AI will transform life in emerging economies; a Chinese startup is winning the open source race

In a recent paper, researchers from the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) described a new approach that could change the game even further for the energy efficiency of AI models: spiking neural networks (SNNs). The human brain is a marvel of efficiency, capable of complex calculations and learning with minimal energy consumption. But our current crop of large models that power chatbots or generate images and videos require vast amounts of energy to function. One query to ChatGPT uses the equivalent of 3.96 watts, or a third of the battery capacity of an iPhone 13 Pro. Meanwhile, an adult human brain consumes slightly more than a third of a watt of energy in an entire day day, or approximately 8% the energy of one question posed to a large language model.

Inspired by the brain's biological structure, SNNs process information using discrete "spikes" of electrical activity, similar to how neurons communicate. This is a stark contrast to traditional artificial neural networks, which rely on continuous calculations.

This shift has the potential to dramatically reduce the energy footprint of AI, making it more sustainable and paving the way for exciting new applications including:

• Long-range search and rescue: Imagine drones powered by SNNs, able to navigate disaster zones and locate survivors for extended periods without draining their batteries.
• Prosthetics: SNNs could lead to more intuitive and natural-feeling prosthetics that better integrate with the human nervous system.
• Edge computing: SNNs' low-power requirements make them ideal for running AI tasks on devices with limited resources, like smartphones and wearables.

While SNNs are still in their early stages of development, the potential rewards are vast. By emulating the brain's efficiency, we could unlock a new era of AI that is not only powerful but also sustainable.

Just had a quick look at the full paper (some pretty serious maths going on there ). They reference Kristophor Carlson and Simon Thorpe, so they are indeed aware of us.

Another great video with so much to like.

Interesting for me was the reference to the airbag use case. This is not the first time I have heard the team mention this. It is a very specific example and I would go as far to say not just a random coincidence? Something in the works with one of our customers perhaps?

I have nothing further to support this and this is all in my opinion only. But this is not an application I had previously considered for our tech. It is just another example of how large and diverse the potential application of our product is.

This is a cut & paste from the OnSemi website.
When reviewing the OnSemi demo in our booth, several applications applicable to the OnSemi DOMS system were referred to.
Child detection is mandated from 2025 in the US, but taking this to the next level ( you have left your laptop, child, groceries ( with fish - now that's bad !! )) may well be delivered by Akida.
Airbag adjustment is mentioned, full cabin monitoring, including social media applications.
I'm betting we are fully integrated into a future release of the OnSemi DOMS solution.

Well if Thomas Hülsing, is "just an investor like all of us" and just happens to also be a Systems-of-Systems engineer, for Airbus Space and Defence..

I'll take that too..

Someone with his credentials, can talk us up all he wants

So I know both of them and am in regular contact with them, one is even on Whatsapp with me. So these are German people and they are interested in nothing more and nothing less, okay?
Some of us in Germany are enthusiastic about Brainchip and are trying to promote it here, and especially we here, who had already invested in Brainchip before the announcement of Mercedes (which is Germany).

And Todd Vierra makes a point of describing OnSemi as their PARTNER.

To run a safety critical system of the type OnSemi describe and which Todd Vierra also alludes to would require significant power reserved for this purpose away from the driving wheels if running conventional Von Neumann compute which would require active cooling as some of these functions such as child detection need to run after the vehicle has been turned off across the full range of climatic conditions.

While there are other low powered neuromorphic processors they are not capable of running all the five senses plus radar, Lidar and ultrasonic and perform regression analysis and sensor fusion while being sensor and process agnostic and maintaining the cyber security for intelligent airbag deployment.

In safety critical systems providing redundancy is also a factor to consider and again comparing the AKIDA platform with the Nvidia Jetson series its compact small form and low weight makes it a winner.

My opinion only DYOR

Akida mention in recently published article on Neuroprostheses

Neuromorphic hardware for somatosensory neuroprostheses - Nature Communications

Neuroprosthetic devices have recently emerged as promising solutions to restore sensory-motor functions lost due to injury or neurological diseases. In this perspective, Donati and Valle propose to combine neuroprostheses with neuromorphic technologies for designing more natural human-machine...

www.nature.com

Box 4
Brainchip’Akida is one of the first commercial neuromorphic chips, and it is available for integration in ASIC products or as a System on a Chip (SoC) product. The SoC is built around a core neural processor comprised of 80 neural processing units, which enables the modeling of 1.2 million neurons and 109 synapses. It supports convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and fully connected networks221. Power consumption in standard tasks ranges from 100 μW to 300 mW.

And also a mention here....





Another exciting potential application of our tech!!!!


Happy as Larry

In the shared video, he mentions that Akida 2.0 is in the process of tape-out. This indicates that they are aware that a significant amount of money will be come in (as tape-out costs would currently exceed expenses), or they are proactively preparing for the event, or they have already prepared everything and are awaiting revenue. It's interesting, also the mention of IBM

Morning Chippers ,

Having another quick listen to the above interview with OnSemi...

Radhika Arora , mentions a company called VinFast.

VinFast.

- Located in Vietnam

- Private Conglomerate.

- Market Cap roughly $35 Billion USD.

All very interesting...

Around one or two years ago someone here posted a traffic flow / Global internet intrest heat map showing alot of intrest for coming out of Vietnam,
At the time I thought it may have been from a Hairy COCONUT Company....... though this mob seem right up our ally also.

May be a new Company to keep a beady eye on .... for the super sleuths.

Vingroup collaborates with Intel; signs agreement to develop advanced technologies

I feel dumb for buying into the hype too early. Still down nearly 80% overall in BRN.
I'd feel smarter if I had waited and waited.

All good Sirod

Like I said, Happy if they are "just" invested and spruiking us, when they hold such positions.

But really speaking, they would be putting their jobs on the line, if they were divulging Company relationships that weren't public knowledge to friends (whether online or not).

I still think, we're more likely to be directly involved with Airbus, given the fit (as well as our prior known relationship) and some of the employees have invested, because they see the potential.

Many have commented before, why aren't these other Companies investing in us, if we're so "brilliant".
Well it's possible, individuals from these companies are.

I'm pretty sure, there's no rule against that?

Or would that be considered insider trading?
Just buying, isn't trading though ..
